I went out on a late morning coffee/breakfast date today with a guy I met online. I thought I'd be nervous but I wasn't at all. I just knew from talking with him that it would be okay no matter how it turned out.

It was really nice. Good meal, hot coffee, 2+ hours of non-stop conversation and then an hour of walking around and more conversation. Finally a goodbye kiss that was perfect. Not a longgg kiss, not a quick peck either. It's silly I guess but I'm thrilled that XWH is no longer the last person I kissed!

We texted pleasantly after. Guessing I'll see him again... I'm leaving the ball in his court and honestly fine with whatever happens (or doesn't happen) next. I confirmed today that I don't want and am not ready for anything serious, but some fun dates and a little smooching is definitely okay with me.

So glad to have turned another page in my new beginning! Whether this turns into "something", or becomes a friendship, or is just a one time great morning I spent with a nice guy, I'm so glad I went!

Thanks for all the congrats! I am so not ready to dive into anything serious, but dipping my toe back in the dating pool feels pretty dang good. If nothing else, its great for the ego, which certainly took a beating during the A and D/S.

Both our weekends got a little hectic so we postponed until tomorrow night. Looking forward to it....
